Abstract
Primers and probes can be used to detect nucleic acid from human strains of Pneumocystis carinii in a sample. The nucleotide sequence of a region of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene of a strain of P. carinii derived from humans is provided. The primers amplify regions of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene and hybridize to regions containing variability among strains. Probes hybridize to a regions within the amplified region that contain variability among strains.
